Wow the rest are in a distant second.

EDIT: Wait, is that public schools only?

Weirdhobo

Yes it is public schools.

If it were both private and public, Cornell would be #1 , Davis #2

How hard is it to get into their Vet school?

Melodified

man i wish... just to get into their undergrad for animal bio. >.<; I got rejected. =[ I'm appealing..tho...duno how well that will help me.

Weirdhobo

if you get your appeal in, its better to go into Ani Sci i hear (which is why i am switching to said major from Ani Bio).

Davis' Vet school is considered top tier, therefore it is also a very difficult one to get into. But in all actuality, all Vet Schools are hard to get into. Average GPAs are usually 3.5+ so it's very competitive as well.

"its better to go into Ani Sci"

Why?

Weirdhobo

I've heard good things about the teacher, it's smaller class size.

From a recent pre-vet Davis student who was accepted to a Vet school:

One difference between ani bio and ani sci is that ani sci only requires 2 calc classes so vs. ani bio requires 3 calc classes. Ani Bio requires more work overall. Plus Ani Sci has everything from Cows, to sheep, to horses i hear

@Coldfront

heh, yea I looked at that a while ago. Fair warning that most people will not be getting in :P In fact it takes some people 2 or 3 tries to get in.

Coldfront

Thankfully, not MOST.

Weirdhobo

Well MOST go into a different field at that point...

Coldfront

Well, yes, I imagine so...
A pity.

Weirdhobo

Not really, if one is determined enough and knows exactly what to do to get into Vet school then they should.
